AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This final rule, issued
pursuant to section 8(d) of the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA), requires
manufacturers (including importers) of
the chemicals listed in this document in
the category of voluntary High
Production Volume (HPV) Challenge
Program orphan (unsponsored)

chemicals to report certain unpublished
health and safety data to EPA. The
Interagency Testing Committee (ITC),
established under section 4(e) of TSCA
to recommend chemical substances and
mixtures to EPA for priority testing
consideration, amends the TSCA section
4(e) Priority Testing List through
periodic reports submitted to EPA. The
ITC recently added voluntary HPV
Challenge Program orphan
(unsponsored) chemicals to the Priority
Testing List in its 55th and 56th ITC
Reports, as amended by deletions to this
list made in its 56th and 58th ITC
Reports. In addition, EPA is making
technical corrections to update the EPA
addresses to which submissions under
the health and safety data reporting rule
must be mailed or delivered. This
update reflects the completion of the
Agency’s move to the Federal Triangle
complex in Washington, DC.
This final rule is effective
September 15, 2006. However,

I. General Information
A. Does this Action Apply to Me?
You may be potentially affected by
this action if you manufacture (defined
by statute to include import) any of the
chemical substances that are listed in 40
CFR 716.120(d) of the regulatory text of
this document. Entities potentially
affected by this action may include, but
are not limited to:
• Chemical manufacturers (including
importers), (NAICS codes 325, 32411),
e.g., persons who manufacture (defined
by statute to include import) one or
more of the subject chemical substances.
This listing is not intended to be
exhaustive, but rather provides a guide
for readers regarding entities likely to be
affected by this action. The North
American Industrial Classification
System (NAICS) codes have been
provided to assist you and others in
determining whether this action might
apply to certain entities. If you have any
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
questions regarding the applicability of
this action to a particular entity, consult
the technical person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
B. How Do I Submit CBI Information?
Do not submit this information to EPA
through regulations.gov or e-mail.
Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI.
For CBI information in a disk or CD
ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the
outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI
and then identify electronically within
the disk or CD ROM the specific
information that is claimed CBI. In
addition to one complete version of the
comment that includes information
claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment
that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for
inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be
disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
II. Background
A. What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA is issuing a Health and Safety
Data Reporting rule under TSCA section
8(d) which requires manufacturers
(including importers) of chemicals in
the category (as defined by the ITC in its
55th, 56th, and 58th ITC Reports (Refs. 1,
2, and 3)) of voluntary HPV Challenge
Program orphan (unsponsored)
chemicals on the ITC’s TSCA section
4(e) Priority Testing List to submit
certain unpublished health and safety
data to EPA. The regulatory text of this
document lists the voluntary HPV
Challenge Program orphan
(unsponsored) chemicals that are being
added to the Health and Safety Data
Reporting rule. The regulatory text also
lists the data reporting requirements
imposed by this amendment to the rule.
(For additional information about EPA’s
voluntary HPV Challenge Program, visit
the Challenge Program website at https://
www.epa.gov/chemrtk/volchall.htm).
EPA is also making minor
amendments to update the EPA
addresses to which submissions under
the Health and Safety Data reporting
rule must be sent or delivered (40 CFR
716.30, 40 CFR 716.35, 40 CFR 716.60,
and 40 CFR 716.105).
B. What is the Agency’s Authority for
Taking this Action?
EPA promulgated the model Health
and Safety Data Reporting rule under
section 8(d) of TSCA (15 U.S.C.
2607(d)), and it is codified at 40 CFR
part 716. EPA uses this TSCA section
8(d) model rule to quickly gather
current information on chemicals. The
PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
47131
TSCA section 8(d) model rule requires
certain past, current, and proposed
manufacturers, importers, and (if
specified by EPA in a particular notice
or rule under TSCA section 8(d))
processors of listed chemicals to submit
to EPA copies and lists of unpublished
health and safety studies on the listed
chemicals that they manufacture,
import, or (if specified by EPA in a
particular notice or rule under TSCA
section 8(d)) process. These studies
provide EPA with useful information
and have provided significant support
for EPA’s decisionmaking under TSCA
sections 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9.
This model TSCA section 8(d) rule
provides for the addition of TSCA
section 4(e) Priority Testing List
chemicals. Whenever EPA announces
the receipt of an ITC Report, EPA
amends, unless otherwise instructed by
the ITC, the model Health and Safety
Data Reporting rule by adding the
recommended (or designated)
chemicals. The amendment adding
these chemicals to the Health and Safety
Data Reporting rule is effective 30 days
after the date of publication in the
Federal Register. Explanations of the
procedures to follow if a respondent to
this rule wishes to assert a claim of
confidentiality for a part of a study or
certain information contained in a study
are provided at 40 CFR 716.55.
C. Why is this Action Being Issued as a
Final Rule?
EPA is publishing this action as a
final rule without prior notice and an
opportunity for comment pursuant to
the procedures set forth in 40 CFR
716.105(b) and (c). EPA finds that there
is ‘‘good cause’’ under the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B)) to make these
amendments without prior notice and
comment. EPA believes notice and an
opportunity for comment on this action
are unnecessary. TSCA directs the ITC
to add chemicals to the Priority Testing
List for which EPA should give priority
consideration. EPA also lacks the
authority to remove a chemical from the
Priority Testing List once it has been
added by the ITC. As explained earlier
in this rule, pursuant to 40 CFR
716.105(b) and (c), once the ITC adds a
chemical to the Priority Testing List,
EPA in turn is obliged to add that
chemical to the list of chemicals subject
to Health and Safety Data Reporting rule
reporting requirements, unless
requested not to do so by the ITC. EPA
promulgated this procedure in 1985
after having solicited public comment
on the need for and mechanics of this
procedure. (See the Federal Register of
August 28, 1985 (50 FR 34809)).
E:\FR\FM\16AUR1.SGM
16AUR1
47132
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 158 / Wednesday, August 16, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
Because that rulemaking established the
procedure for adding ITC chemicals to
the Health and Safety Data Reporting
rule, it is unnecessary to request
comment on the procedure in this
action. EPA believes this action does not
raise any relevant issues for comment.
EPA is not changing the Health and
Safety Data Reporting rule reporting
requirements or the process set forth in
40 CFR 716.105(b) and (c). Finally, 40
CFR 716.105(b) and (c) do provide EPA
with the discretion to withdraw a
chemical from the Health and Safety
Data Reporting rule if a chemical
manufacturer submits to EPA
information showing good cause that a
chemical should be removed from the
Health and Safety Data Reporting rule.
III. Final Rule
A. What Chemicals are to be Added?
In this document, EPA is adding
certain voluntary HPV Challenge
Program orphan (unsponsored)
chemicals to the TSCA section 8(d)
Health and Safety Data Reporting rule as
requested by the ITC in its 55th, 56th, and
58th ITC Reports (Refs. 1, 2, and 3).
B. What are the General Reporting
Requirements and Deadlines?
The general provisions regarding the
submission of copies and lists of studies
under EPA’s TSCA section 8(d) rule are
located at 40 CFR 716.30 and 716.35,
respectively, and additional reporting
requirements and exemptions are
described elsewhere in 40 CFR part 716.
The reporting schedule and reporting
period for persons subject to this rule
(see 40 CFR 716.5) are described at 40
CFR 716.60 and 716.65.

C. What Types of Studies Must be
Submitted?
Pursuant to 40 CFR 716.20(b)(5) and
716.50, the types of environmental fate,
health, and/or environmental effects
studies that must be reported and the
chemical grade/purity requirements that
must be met or exceeded in individual
studies for the chemicals in the category
of voluntary HPV Challenge Program
orphan (unsponsored) chemicals added
to the Health and Safety Data Reporting
rule as a result of this document are as
follows:
1. All unpublished environmental fate
studies, meeting the criteria set forth in
Unit III.C.4., on water solubility;
adsorption/desorption on particulate
surfaces, e.g., soil; vapor pressure;
octanol/water partition coefficient;
density/relative density (specific
gravity); particle size distribution for
insoluble solids; dissociation constant;
degradation by photochemical

mechanisms—aquatic and atmospheric;
degradation by chemical mechanisms—
hydrolytic, reductive, and oxidative;
degradation by biological mechanisms—
aerobic and anaerobic. Studies of
physical and chemical properties,
meeting the criteria set forth in Unit
III.C.4., must be reported if performed
for the purpose of determining the
environmental or biological fate of a
substance, and only if they investigated
one or more of the properties listed in
this paragraph. In addition, all
unpublished studies, meeting the
criteria set forth in Unit III.C.4., on
melting point and boiling point must be
submitted.
2. All unpublished health effects
studies, meeting the criteria set forth in
Unit III.C.4., including
pharmacokinetics, genotoxicity, acute
toxicity, subacute toxicity, subchronic
toxicity, chronic toxicity, reproductive
toxicity, developmental toxicity,
immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and
oncogenicity/carcinogenicity.
3. All unpublished environmental
effects studies, meeting the criteria set
forth in Unit III.C.4., including acute
and chronic toxicity studies of aquatic
and terrestrial vertebrates and
invertebrates and aquatic plants.
4. Only studies where the voluntary
HPV Challenge Program orphan
(unsponsored) chemical is ≥ 90% of the
test substance by weight should be
submitted. In addition, only studies that
were conducted using TSCA test
guidelines (40 CFR parts 795, 796, 797,
798, and 799), FIFRA test guidelines
(see the OPPTS Harmonized Test
Guidelines at https://www.epa.gov/

accepted test guidelines or voluntary
consensus standards should be
submitted. Studies performed where the
recommended voluntary HPV Challenge
Program orphan (unsponsored)
chemical is < 90% of the test substance
by weight are not requested at this time.
All other studies are exempt at this time
from reporting.
EPA requests that a robust summary
of each submitted study or for all
studies of a given endpoint be prepared
and submitted with copies of each
study. A robust summary contains the

technical information necessary to
adequately describe a study and
includes the objectives, methods,
results, and conclusions of the full
study. A robust summary is intended to
provide sufficient information to allow
a technically qualified person to make
an independent assessment of a given
study without having to read the full
study. A document entitled Draft
Guidance on Developing Robust
Summaries (Ref. 4), which is available
on the website of the HPV Challenge
Program at https://www.epa.gov/
chemrtk/robsumgd.htm, and in the
public docket for this final rule, can be
used as a general framework for
preparing robust summaries. Persons
who intend to voluntarily respond to
this request and who find it less
burdensome to submit robust summary
information via the High Production
Volume Information System (HPVIS)
rather than as hard copy documents are
encouraged to submit robust summary
information into HPVIS using the
directions provided at https://
iaspub.epa.gov/oppthpv/metadata.html.

Quick Start and User’s Guide.’’
D. Additional Amendments to Update
EPA Addresses
EPA is making minor amendments to
update the EPA addresses to which:
Copies of health and safety studies and
the accompanying cover letters must be
submitted (40 CFR 716.30), lists of
health and safety studies must be
submitted (40 CFR 716.35), requests for
extensions of time must be submitted
(40 CFR 716.60), and comments
providing information that shows why a
chemical should be withdrawn must be
submitted (40 CFR 716.105). This
update to the EPA addresses reflects the
completion of the Agency’s move to the
Federal Triangle complex in
Washington, DC. The addresses listed in
the existing regulations are no longer
the correct or complete Agency
addresses to which this material must
be submitted. The Agency finds that
notice and comment on these
amendments is unnecessary. The update
is not substantive and does not affect
the information manufacturers must
report. The amendments merely reflect
a change in the Agency’s location. The
Agency therefore finds the amendments
to be minor in nature.
E. Economic Analysis
The economic analysis for the
addition of certain chemicals to the
TSCA section 8(d) Health and Safety
Data Reporting rule is entitled Economic
Analysis of the Addition of Chemicals
from the 55th, 56th, and 58th ITC Reports
E:\FR\FM\16AUR1.SGM
16AUR1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 158 / Wednesday, August 16, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
to the 8(d) Health and Safety Data
Reporting Rule (Ref. 5).
To determine the number of affected
manufacturers and sites, EPA reviewed
data from the last three reporting
periods (i.e., 1994, 1998, and 2002) for
EPA’s Inventory Update Rule (IUR) (see
40 CFR part 710, subpart B) to identify
the firms that manufactured the 243
chemicals. Using manufacturer and site
information, EPA used sources, such as
Dun and Bradstreet, to identify relevant
NAICS codes or Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) codes for each
company and/or facility. Where SIC
codes were reported, they were cross
matched with NAICS codes to assign a
NAICS code to the company. Only
companies that were associated at any
corporate level (e.g., site or company)
with NAICS codes 325 and 32411 were
included. A total of 191 ultimate parent
companies (UCEs) or firms operating
462 sites that meet the criteria were
identified.
To estimate the number of health and
safety data reports that might be
submitted, EPA used data on the
number of reports received in 2004.
Specifically, in 2004, EPA added 15
chemicals to the Health and Safety Data
Reporting rule. Seven firms reported the
manufacture of those chemicals to the
IUR. Of the seven firms, three submitted
reports. This represents an average of
0.43 reports per manufacturer. These
reports included a total of 14 separate
health and safety studies, or
approximately five studies per firm.
Assuming the response rate to the 243
chemicals is proportional to the results
for 2004, then 43% of the
manufacturers, or 82 firms (0.43 x 191
firms), will each submit reports, and a
total of 410 studies are anticipated (82
firms x 5 studies per firm). Given the
assumptions in this unit, the costs
associated with this rule are estimated
in the Economic Analysis (Ref. 5) to be
the following:
Total reporting costs = $110,000
Total EPA costs = $79,000
Total Rule Costs = $189,000

IV. Requesting a Chemical be
Withdrawn from the Rule
As specified in 40 CFR 716.105(c),
EPA may remove a chemical substance,
mixture, or category of chemical
substances or mixtures from this rule for
good cause prior to September 15, 2006.
Any person who believes that the
reporting required by this rule is not
warranted for a chemical listed in this
rule, must submit to EPA detailed
reasons for that belief.
EPA has established a policy
regarding acceptance of new
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:48 Aug 15, 2006
Jkt 208001
commitments to sponsor chemicals
under the voluntary HPV Challenge
Program (Ref. 6). Under this policy, EPA
will accept new commitments to
sponsor chemicals under the voluntary
HPV Challenge Program for any of the
243 voluntary HPV Challenge Program
orphan (unsponsored) chemicals listed
in the regulatory text of this document
until August 30, 2006. In accordance
with the procedures described in 40
CFR 716.105(c), withdrawal requests
submitted by chemical manufacturers in
conjunction with these new
commitments must be received on or
before August 30, 2006. Voluntary HPV
Challenge Program orphan
(unsponsored) chemicals for which new
commitments are accepted based on
EPA’s policy will be removed from the
TSCA 8(d) Health and Safety Data
Reporting rule, and a Federal Register
document announcing these withdrawal
decisions will be published no later
than the effective date of this rule (i.e.,
September 15, 2006).
You must submit your request to EPA
on or before August 30, 2006 and in
accordance with the instructions
provided in 40 CFR 716.105(c), which
are briefly summarized here. In
addition, to ensure proper receipt, EPA
recommends that you identify docket ID
number EPA–HQ–OPPT– 2005–0055 in
the subject line on the first page of your
submission. If the Administrator
withdraws a chemical substance,
mixture, or category of chemical
substances or mixtures from the
amendment, a Federal Register
document announcing this decision will
be published no later than September
15, 2006.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has exempted actions under
TSCA section 8(d) related to the Health
and Safety Data Reporting rule from the
requirements of Executive Order 12866,
entitled Regulatory Planning and
Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993).
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
The information collection
requirements contained in TSCA section
8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting
rules have already been approved by
OMB under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq., and OMB control
number 2070–0004 (EPA ICR No. 0575).
The collection activities in this final
rule are captured by the existing
approval and do not require additional
review and/or approval by OMB.
EPA estimates the total industry
burden to be 1,764 hours as a result of
the rule. An estimated 82 firms are
expected to provide studies in response
to the rule. The estimated burden per
respondent is approximately 22 hours
(Ref. 4). As defined by the PRA and 5
CFR 1320.3(b), ‘‘burden’’ means the
total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, or disclose or provide
information to or for a Federal Agency.
This includes the time needed to:
Review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and
systems for the purposes of collecting,
validating, and verifying information,
processing and maintaining
information, and disclosing and
providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 158 / Wednesday, August 16, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Under the PRA, an agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, an information
collection request unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
The OMB control numbers for EPA’s
regulations, including its regulations
implementing TSCA section 8(d) at 40
CFR part 716, are listed in the table in
40 CFR part 9 and included on the
related collection instrument. This
listing of the OMB control numbers and
their subsequent codification in the CFR
satisfies the display requirements of
PRA and OMB’s implementing
regulations at 5 CFR part 1320.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
Pursuant to section 605(b) of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5
U.S.C. 601 et seq., the Agency hereby
certifies that this final rule will not have
a significant adverse economic impact
on a substantial number of small
entities. The factual basis for the
Agency’s determination is presented in
the small entity impact analysis
prepared as part of the economic
analysis for this rule (Ref. 5), and is
briefly summarized here.
For this final rule, EPA has analyzed
the potential small business impacts
using the size standards established
under the default definition of ‘‘small
business’’ established under section
601(3) of RFA, which basically uses the
definition used in section 3 of the Small
Business Act (SBA), 15 U.S.C. 632,
under which the SBA establishes small
business size standards for each
industry sector (13 CFR 121.201). The
SBA size standards, which are primarily
intended to determine whether a
business entity is eligible for
government programs and preferences
reserved for small businesses (13 CFR
121.101), ‘‘seek to ensure that a concern
that meets a specific size standard is not
dominant in its field of operation.’’ (13
CFR 121.102(b)). See section 632(a)(1) of
SBA. These standards vary according to
the NAICS code of the business and are
typically based upon number of
employees or receipts. For most
companies, EPA identified the NAICS
code of a company’s UCE and applied
the relevant SBA size standard to
determine if a business was small. Using
this approach, EPA identified 37 small
businesses that would potentially be
affected by the rule. In addition, there
are an additional five firms for which a
determinations could not be made
because sales and/or employment could
not be found.
EPA’s review of IUR data found that
32 of the 37 small businesses have only
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:48 Aug 15, 2006
Jkt 208001
one site to review for studies, three
firms have two sites, and two firms have
three sites. Firms with three sites would
potentially incur the highest costs of
complying with the rule if all three sites
were searched for studies. The
estimated cost of the rule for firms with
three sites is $1,348. For the small
businesses where EPA had available
data (36 of the 37 firms), the minimum
sales level was $1 million with an
average sales level of $128 million.
Thus, the cost of the rule is expected to
be well below 1% of sales ($1,348/
$1,000,000 = .1%) for 36 of the small
businesses. Assuming that each of the
companies for which sales data were
unavailable had at least the minimum
level of sales, there are no small
businesses for which this rule is
expected to have an impact in excess of
1% of sales. Additionally, EPA believes
that small firms are unlikely to have
unpublished health and safety data
studies due to the cost of developing the
information, and would therefore, only
expend resources to review the rule at
a cost of $108. Given these results, EPA
concludes that there is not a significant
adverse economic impact on these small
entities as a result of this final rule.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Pursuant to Title II of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA),
Public Law 104–4, EPA has determined
that this rule does not contain a Federal
mandate that may result in expenditures
of $100 million or more for State, local,
and tribal governments, in the aggregate,
or the private sector in any 1 year. In
addition, EPA has determined that this
rule will not significantly or uniquely
affect small governments. Accordingly,
the rule is not subject to the
requirements of UMRA sections 202,
203, 204, or 205.
E. Executive Order 13132 and 13175
Based on EPA’s experience with past
TSCA section 8(d) rules, State, local,
and tribal governments have not been
impacted by these rules, and EPA does
not have any reasons to believe that any
State, local, or tribal government will be
impacted by this rule. As a result, these
rules are not subject to the requirements
in Executive Order 13132, entitled
Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999) or Executive Order 13175, entitled
Consultation and Coordination with
Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR
67249, November 6, 2000).
F. Executive Order 13045
Executive Order 13045, entitled
Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23,1997), does
PO 00000
Frm 00062
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
not apply to this rule, because it is not
‘‘economically significant’’ as defined
under Executive Order 12866, and does
not concern an environmental health or
safety risk that may have a
disproportionate effect on children. This
rule requires the reporting of health and
safety data to EPA by manufacturers
(including importers) of certain
chemicals requested by the ITC to be
added to the Health and Safety Data
Reporting rule in its 55th, 56th, and 58th
ITC Reports (Refs. 1, 2, and 3).
G. Executive Order 13211
This rule is not subject to Executive
Order 13211, entitled Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May
22, 2001), because this action is not
expected to affect energy supply,
distribution, or use.
H. National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act
This action does not involve any
technical standards that would require
Agency consideration of voluntary
consensus standards pursuant to section
12(d) of the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995
(NTTAA), Public Law 104–113, section
12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). Section 12(d)
of NTTAA directs EPA to use voluntary
consensus standards in its regulatory
activities unless to do so would be
inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary
consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., materials specifications,
test methods, sampling procedures, and
business practices) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies. The NTTAA directs
EPA to provide Congress, through OMB,
explanations when the Agency decides
not to use available and applicable
voluntary consensus standards.
I. Executive Order 12898
This action does not involve special
considerations of environmental justicerelated issues pursuant to Executive
Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to
Address Environmental Justice in
Minority Populations and Low-Income
Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16,
1994).
VII. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of the
E:\FR\FM\16AUR1.SGM
16AUR1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 158 / Wednesday, August 16, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the rule in
the Federal Register. This rule is not a
‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

Synopsis
Background
Telecommunications Relay Service
Title IV of the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) requires
common carriers offering ‘‘telephone
voice transmission services’’ to also
provide TRS throughout the area in
which they offer service, so that persons
with hearing and speech disabilities can
use the telephone system. 47 U.S.C.
225(c). The statute also mandates that
eligible TRS providers be compensated
for their costs of providing TRS. 47
U.S.C. 225(d)(3). As a general matter,
states compensate providers for the
costs of providing intrastate TRS, and
the Interstate TRS Fund compensates
providers for the costs of providing
interstate TRS. See generally 2004 TRS
Report and Order, 19 FCC Rcd at
12482–12483, paragraphs 7–8. The cost
recovery framework—and the annual
determination of the TRS compensation
rates—is intended to cover the
‘‘reasonable’’ costs incurred in
providing the TRS services mandated by
Congress and Commission regulations.
2004 TRS Report and Order, 19 FCC
Rcd at 12543, paragraph 179; see
generally 47 CFR 64.604(c)(5)(iii)(E)
(providers shall be compensated for the
‘‘reasonable costs’’ of providing TRS).
The intent of Title IV is to further the
Communications Act’s goal of universal
service by ensuring that individuals
with hearing or speech disabilities have
access to telephone services that are
‘‘functionally equivalent’’ to those
available to individuals without such
disabilities. See 47 U.S.C. 225(a)(3). TRS
became available on a nationwide basis
in 1993. See generally
Telecommunication Services for
Individuals with Hearing and Speech
Disabilities, and the Americans With
Disabilities Act of 1990, Report and
Order and Request for Comments, CC
Docket No. 90–571; published at 56 FR
36729 (August 1, 1991), (TRS I).
VRS. In 2000, the Commission
recognized VRS as form of TRS eligible
for compensation from the Interstate
TRS Fund. See Telecommunications

[EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0055; FRL-7764-7]
RIN 2070-AB11
Health and Safety Data Reporting; Addition of Certain Chemicals
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule and Technical corrections.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule, issued pursuant to section 8(d) of the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA), requires manufacturers (including
importers) of the chemicals listed in this document in the category of
voluntary High Production Volume (HPV) Challenge Program orphan
(unsponsored) chemicals to report certain unpublished health and safety
data to EPA. The Interagency Testing Committee (ITC), established under
section 4(e) of TSCA to recommend chemical substances and mixtures to
EPA for priority testing consideration, amends the TSCA section 4(e)
Priority Testing List through periodic reports submitted to EPA. The
ITC recently added voluntary HPV Challenge Program orphan (unsponsored)
chemicals to the Priority Testing List in its 55th and
56th ITC Reports, as amended by deletions to this list made
in its 56th and 58th ITC Reports. In addition,
EPA is making technical corrections to update the EPA addresses to
which submissions under the health and safety data reporting rule must
be mailed or delivered. This update reflects the completion of the
Agency's move to the Federal Triangle complex in Washington, DC.
DATES: This final rule is effective September 15, 2006. However, Sec.
Sec. 716.30, 716.35, 716.60, and 716.105, which contain technical
corrections, are effective August 16, 2006.
For purposes of judicial review, this rule shall be promulgated at
1 p.m. eastern daylight/standard time on August 30, 2006. (See 40 CFR
23.5)
A request to withdraw a chemical from this rule pursuant to 40 CFR
716.105(c) must be received on or before August 30, 2006. (See Unit IV.
of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.)
For dates for reporting requirements, see Unit III.B. of the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular
entity, consult the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.
B. How Do I Submit CBI Information?
Do not submit this information to EPA through regulations.gov or e-
mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to
be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD ROM that you mail to EPA,
mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI and then identify
electronically within the disk or CD ROM the specific information that
is claimed CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that
includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does
not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for
inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be
disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part
2.
II. Background
A. What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA is issuing a Health and Safety Data Reporting rule under TSCA
section 8(d) which requires manufacturers (including importers) of
chemicals in the category (as defined by the ITC in its
55th, 56th, and 58th ITC Reports
(Refs. 1, 2, and 3)) of voluntary HPV Challenge Program orphan
(unsponsored) chemicals on the ITC's TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing
List to submit certain unpublished health and safety data to EPA. The
regulatory text of this document lists the voluntary HPV Challenge
Program orphan (unsponsored) chemicals that are being added to the
Health and Safety Data Reporting rule. The regulatory text also lists
the data reporting requirements imposed by this amendment to the rule.
(For additional information about EPA's voluntary HPV Challenge
Program, visit the Challenge Program website at https://www.epa.gov/
chemrtk/volchall.htm).
EPA is also making minor amendments to update the EPA addresses to
which submissions under the Health and Safety Data reporting rule must
be sent or delivered (40 CFR 716.30, 40 CFR 716.35, 40 CFR 716.60, and
40 CFR 716.105).
B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?
EPA promulgated the model Health and Safety Data Reporting rule
under section 8(d) of TSCA (15 U.S.C. 2607(d)), and it is codified at
40 CFR part 716. EPA uses this TSCA section 8(d) model rule to quickly
gather current information on chemicals. The TSCA section 8(d) model
rule requires certain past, current, and proposed manufacturers,
importers, and (if specified by EPA in a particular notice or rule
under TSCA section 8(d)) processors of listed chemicals to submit to
EPA copies and lists of unpublished health and safety studies on the
listed chemicals that they manufacture, import, or (if specified by EPA
in a particular notice or rule under TSCA section 8(d)) process. These
studies provide EPA with useful information and have provided
significant support for EPA's decisionmaking under TSCA sections 4, 5,
6, 8, and 9.
This model TSCA section 8(d) rule provides for the addition of TSCA
section 4(e) Priority Testing List chemicals. Whenever EPA announces
the receipt of an ITC Report, EPA amends, unless otherwise instructed
by the ITC, the model Health and Safety Data Reporting rule by adding
the recommended (or designated) chemicals. The amendment adding these
chemicals to the Health and Safety Data Reporting rule is effective 30
days after the date of publication in the Federal Register.
Explanations of the procedures to follow if a respondent to this rule
wishes to assert a claim of confidentiality for a part of a study or
certain information contained in a study are provided at 40 CFR 716.55.
C. Why is this Action Being Issued as a Final Rule?
EPA is publishing this action as a final rule without prior notice
and an opportunity for comment pursuant to the procedures set forth in
40 CFR 716.105(b) and (c). EPA finds that there is ``good cause'' under
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B)) to make
these amendments without prior notice and comment. EPA believes notice
and an opportunity for comment on this action are unnecessary. TSCA
directs the ITC to add chemicals to the Priority Testing List for which
EPA should give priority consideration. EPA also lacks the authority to
remove a chemical from the Priority Testing List once it has been added
by the ITC. As explained earlier in this rule, pursuant to 40 CFR
716.105(b) and (c), once the ITC adds a chemical to the Priority
Testing List, EPA in turn is obliged to add that chemical to the list
of chemicals subject to Health and Safety Data Reporting rule reporting
requirements, unless requested not to do so by the ITC. EPA promulgated
this procedure in 1985 after having solicited public comment on the
need for and mechanics of this procedure. (See the Federal Register of
August 28, 1985 (50 FR 34809)).
[[Page 47132]]
Because that rulemaking established the procedure for adding ITC
chemicals to the Health and Safety Data Reporting rule, it is
unnecessary to request comment on the procedure in this action. EPA
believes this action does not raise any relevant issues for comment.
EPA is not changing the Health and Safety Data Reporting rule reporting
requirements or the process set forth in 40 CFR 716.105(b) and (c).
Finally, 40 CFR 716.105(b) and (c) do provide EPA with the discretion
to withdraw a chemical from the Health and Safety Data Reporting rule
if a chemical manufacturer submits to EPA information showing good
cause that a chemical should be removed from the Health and Safety Data
Reporting rule.
III. Final Rule
A. What Chemicals are to be Added?
In this document, EPA is adding certain voluntary HPV Challenge
Program orphan (unsponsored) chemicals to the TSCA section 8(d) Health
and Safety Data Reporting rule as requested by the ITC in its
55th, 56th, and 58th ITC Reports
(Refs. 1, 2, and 3).
B. What are the General Reporting Requirements and Deadlines?
The general provisions regarding the submission of copies and lists
of studies under EPA's TSCA section 8(d) rule are located at 40 CFR
716.30 and 716.35, respectively, and additional reporting requirements
and exemptions are described elsewhere in 40 CFR part 716. The
reporting schedule and reporting period for persons subject to this
rule (see 40 CFR 716.5) are described at 40 CFR 716.60 and 716.65.
C. What Types of Studies Must be Submitted?
Pursuant to 40 CFR 716.20(b)(5) and 716.50, the types of
environmental fate, health, and/or environmental effects studies that
must be reported and the chemical grade/purity requirements that must
be met or exceeded in individual studies for the chemicals in the
category of voluntary HPV Challenge Program orphan (unsponsored)
chemicals added to the Health and Safety Data Reporting rule as a
result of this document are as follows:
1. All unpublished environmental fate studies, meeting the criteria
set forth in Unit III.C.4., on water solubility; adsorption/desorption
on particulate surfaces, e.g., soil; vapor pressure; octanol/water
partition coefficient; density/relative density (specific gravity);
particle size distribution for insoluble solids; dissociation constant;
degradation by photochemical mechanisms--aquatic and atmospheric;
degradation by chemical mechanisms--hydrolytic, reductive, and
oxidative; degradation by biological mechanisms--aerobic and anaerobic.
Studies of physical and chemical properties, meeting the criteria set
forth in Unit III.C.4., must be reported if performed for the purpose
of determining the environmental or biological fate of a substance, and
only if they investigated one or more of the properties listed in this
paragraph. In addition, all unpublished studies, meeting the criteria
set forth in Unit III.C.4., on melting point and boiling point must be
submitted.
2. All unpublished health effects studies, meeting the criteria set
forth in Unit III.C.4., including pharmacokinetics, genotoxicity, acute
toxicity, subacute toxicity, subchronic toxicity, chronic toxicity,
reproductive toxicity, developmental toxicity, immunotoxicity,
neurotoxicity, and oncogenicity/carcinogenicity.
3. All unpublished environmental effects studies, meeting the
criteria set forth in Unit III.C.4., including acute and chronic
toxicity studies of aquatic and terrestrial vertebrates and
invertebrates and aquatic plants.
4. Only studies where the voluntary HPV Challenge Program orphan
(unsponsored) chemical is >= 90% of the test substance by weight should
be submitted. In addition, only studies that were conducted using TSCA
test guidelines (40 CFR parts 795, 796, 797, 798, and 799), FIFRA test
guidelines (see the OPPTS Harmonized Test Guidelines at https://
www.epa.gov/opptsfrs/home/guidelin.htm, the Pesticide Assessment
Guidelines\1\), Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD) test guidelines at https://www.oecd.org/document/13/0,2340,en --
2649--201185--2740429--1--1-- 1--1,00.html, or other internationally
accepted test guidelines or voluntary consensus standards should be
submitted. Studies performed where the recommended voluntary HPV
Challenge Program orphan (unsponsored) chemical is < 90% of the test
substance by weight are not requested at this time. All other studies
are exempt at this time from reporting.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Pesticide Assessment Guidelines are available from the
National Technical Information Service (NTIS). Address: 5285 Port
Royal Rd., Springfield, VA 22161; telephone number: (703) 487-4650.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPA requests that a robust summary of each submitted study or for
all studies of a given endpoint be prepared and submitted with copies
of each study. A robust summary contains the technical information
necessary to adequately describe a study and includes the objectives,
methods, results, and conclusions of the full study. A robust summary
is intended to provide sufficient information to allow a technically
qualified person to make an independent assessment of a given study
without having to read the full study. A document entitled Draft
Guidance on Developing Robust Summaries (Ref. 4), which is available on
the website of the HPV Challenge Program at https://www.epa.gov/chemrtk/
robsumgd.htm, and in the public docket for this final rule, can be used
as a general framework for preparing robust summaries. Persons who
intend to voluntarily respond to this request and who find it less
burdensome to submit robust summary information via the High Production
Volume Information System (HPVIS) rather than as hard copy documents
are encouraged to submit robust summary information into HPVIS using
the directions provided at https://iaspub.epa.gov/oppthpv/
metadata.html. This link will direct you to the ``HPVIS Quick Start and
User's Guide.''
D. Additional Amendments to Update EPA Addresses
EPA is making minor amendments to update the EPA addresses to
which: Copies of health and safety studies and the accompanying cover
letters must be submitted (40 CFR 716.30), lists of health and safety
studies must be submitted (40 CFR 716.35), requests for extensions of
time must be submitted (40 CFR 716.60), and comments providing
information that shows why a chemical should be withdrawn must be
submitted (40 CFR 716.105). This update to the EPA addresses reflects
the completion of the Agency's move to the Federal Triangle complex in
Washington, DC. The addresses listed in the existing regulations are no
longer the correct or complete Agency addresses to which this material
must be submitted. The Agency finds that notice and comment on these
amendments is unnecessary. The update is not substantive and does not
affect the information manufacturers must report. The amendments merely
reflect a change in the Agency's location. The Agency therefore finds
the amendments to be minor in nature.
E. Economic Analysis
The economic analysis for the addition of certain chemicals to the
TSCA section 8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting rule is entitled
Economic Analysis of the Addition of Chemicals from the
55th, 56th, and 58th ITC Reports
[[Page 47133]]
to the 8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting Rule (Ref. 5).
To determine the number of affected manufacturers and sites, EPA
reviewed data from the last three reporting periods (i.e., 1994, 1998,
and 2002) for EPA's Inventory Update Rule (IUR) (see 40 CFR part 710,
subpart B) to identify the firms that manufactured the 243 chemicals.
Using manufacturer and site information, EPA used sources, such as Dun
and Bradstreet, to identify relevant NAICS codes or Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) codes for each company and/or facility. Where SIC
codes were reported, they were cross matched with NAICS codes to assign
a NAICS code to the company. Only companies that were associated at any
corporate level (e.g., site or company) with NAICS codes 325 and 32411
were included. A total of 191 ultimate parent companies (UCEs) or firms
operating 462 sites that meet the criteria were identified.
To estimate the number of health and safety data reports that might
be submitted, EPA used data on the number of reports received in 2004.
Specifically, in 2004, EPA added 15 chemicals to the Health and Safety
Data Reporting rule. Seven firms reported the manufacture of those
chemicals to the IUR. Of the seven firms, three submitted reports. This
represents an average of 0.43 reports per manufacturer. These reports
included a total of 14 separate health and safety studies, or
approximately five studies per firm. Assuming the response rate to the
243 chemicals is proportional to the results for 2004, then 43% of the
manufacturers, or 82 firms (0.43 x 191 firms), will each submit
reports, and a total of 410 studies are anticipated (82 firms x 5
studies per firm). Given the assumptions in this unit, the costs
associated with this rule are estimated in the Economic Analysis (Ref.
5) to be the following:
Total reporting costs = $110,000
Total EPA costs = $79,000
Total Rule Costs = $189,000
IV. Requesting a Chemical be Withdrawn from the Rule
As specified in 40 CFR 716.105(c), EPA may remove a chemical
substance, mixture, or category of chemical substances or mixtures from
this rule for good cause prior to September 15, 2006. Any person who
believes that the reporting required by this rule is not warranted for
a chemical listed in this rule, must submit to EPA detailed reasons for
that belief.
EPA has established a policy regarding acceptance of new
commitments to sponsor chemicals under the voluntary HPV Challenge
Program (Ref. 6). Under this policy, EPA will accept new commitments to
sponsor chemicals under the voluntary HPV Challenge Program for any of
the 243 voluntary HPV Challenge Program orphan (unsponsored) chemicals
listed in the regulatory text of this document until August 30, 2006.
In accordance with the procedures described in 40 CFR 716.105(c),
withdrawal requests submitted by chemical manufacturers in conjunction
with these new commitments must be received on or before August 30,
2006. Voluntary HPV Challenge Program orphan (unsponsored) chemicals
for which new commitments are accepted based on EPA's policy will be
removed from the TSCA 8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting rule, and a
Federal Register document announcing these withdrawal decisions will be
published no later than the effective date of this rule (i.e.,
September 15, 2006).
You must submit your request to EPA on or before August 30, 2006
and in accordance with the instructions provided in 40 CFR 716.105(c),
which are briefly summarized here. In addition, to ensure proper
receipt, EPA recommends that you identify docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-
2005-0055 in the subject line on the first page of your submission. If
the Administrator withdraws a chemical substance, mixture, or category
of chemical substances or mixtures from the amendment, a Federal
Register document announcing this decision will be published no later
than September 15, 2006.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted actions
under TSCA section 8(d) related to the Health and Safety Data Reporting
rule from the requirements of Executive Order 12866, entitled
Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993).
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
The information collection requirements contained in TSCA section
8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting rules have already been approved
by OMB under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq., and OMB control number 2070-0004 (EPA ICR No.
0575). The collection activities in this final rule are captured by the
existing approval and do not require additional review and/or approval
by OMB.
EPA estimates the total industry burden to be 1,764 hours as a
result of the rule. An estimated 82 firms are expected to provide
studies in response to the rule. The estimated burden per respondent is
approximately 22 hours (Ref. 4). As defined by the PRA and 5 CFR
1320.3(b), ``burden'' means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal Agency. This
includes the time needed to: Review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information;
[[Page 47134]]
and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
Under the PRA, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person
is not required to respond to, an information collection request unless
it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control
numbers for EPA's regulations, including its regulations implementing
TSCA section 8(d) at 40 CFR part 716, are listed in the table in 40 CFR
part 9 and included on the related collection instrument. This listing
of the OMB control numbers and their subsequent codification in the CFR
satisfies the display requirements of PRA and OMB's implementing
regulations at 5 CFR part 1320.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
Pursuant to section 605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA),
5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., the Agency hereby certifies that this final rule
will not have a significant adverse economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. The factual basis for the Agency's
determination is presented in the small entity impact analysis prepared
as part of the economic analysis for this rule (Ref. 5), and is briefly
summarized here.
For this final rule, EPA has analyzed the potential small business
impacts using the size standards established under the default
definition of ``small business'' established under section 601(3) of
RFA, which basically uses the definition used in section 3 of the Small
Business Act (SBA), 15 U.S.C. 632, under which the SBA establishes
small business size standards for each industry sector (13 CFR
121.201). The SBA size standards, which are primarily intended to
determine whether a business entity is eligible for government programs
and preferences reserved for small businesses (13 CFR 121.101), ``seek
to ensure that a concern that meets a specific size standard is not
dominant in its field of operation.'' (13 CFR 121.102(b)). See section
632(a)(1) of SBA. These standards vary according to the NAICS code of
the business and are typically based upon number of employees or
receipts. For most companies, EPA identified the NAICS code of a
company's UCE and applied the relevant SBA size standard to determine
if a business was small. Using this approach, EPA identified 37 small
businesses that would potentially be affected by the rule. In addition,
there are an additional five firms for which a determinations could not
be made because sales and/or employment could not be found.
EPA's review of IUR data found that 32 of the 37 small businesses
have only one site to review for studies, three firms have two sites,
and two firms have three sites. Firms with three sites would
potentially incur the highest costs of complying with the rule if all
three sites were searched for studies. The estimated cost of the rule
for firms with three sites is $1,348. For the small businesses where
EPA had available data (36 of the 37 firms), the minimum sales level
was $1 million with an average sales level of $128 million. Thus, the
cost of the rule is expected to be well below 1% of sales ($1,348/
$1,000,000 = .1%) for 36 of the small businesses. Assuming that each of
the companies for which sales data were unavailable had at least the
minimum level of sales, there are no small businesses for which this
rule is expected to have an impact in excess of 1% of sales.
Additionally, EPA believes that small firms are unlikely to have
unpublished health and safety data studies due to the cost of
developing the information, and would therefore, only expend resources
to review the rule at a cost of $108. Given these results, EPA
concludes that there is not a significant adverse economic impact on
these small entities as a result of this final rule.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Pursuant to Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
(UMRA), Public Law 104-4, EPA has determined that this rule does not
contain a Federal mandate that may result in expenditures of $100
million or more for State, local, and tribal governments, in the
aggregate, or the private sector in any 1 year. In addition, EPA has
determined that this rule will not significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. Accordingly, the rule is not subject to the
requirements of UMRA sections 202, 203, 204, or 205.
E. Executive Order 13132 and 13175
Based on EPA's experience with past TSCA section 8(d) rules, State,
local, and tribal governments have not been impacted by these rules,
and EPA does not have any reasons to believe that any State, local, or
tribal government will be impacted by this rule. As a result, these
rules are not subject to the requirements in Executive Order 13132,
entitled Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) or Executive Order
13175, entitled Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments (65 FR 67249, November 6, 2000).
F. Executive Order 13045
Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April
23,1997), does not apply to this rule, because it is not ``economically
significant'' as defined under Executive Order 12866, and does not
concern an environmental health or safety risk that may have a
disproportionate effect on children. This rule requires the reporting
of health and safety data to EPA by manufacturers (including importers)
of certain chemicals requested by the ITC to be added to the Health and
Safety Data Reporting rule in its 55th, 56th, and
58th ITC Reports (Refs. 1, 2, and 3).
G. Executive Order 13211
This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because this action
is not expected to affect energy supply, distribution, or use.
H. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
This action does not involve any technical standards that would
require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272
note). Section 12(d) of NTTAA directs EPA to use voluntary consensus
standards in its regulatory activities unless to do so would be
inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary
consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., materials
specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, and business
practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to provide Congress, through
OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use available and
applicable voluntary consensus standards.
I. Executive Order 12898
This action does not involve special considerations of
environmental justice-related issues pursuant to Executive Order 12898,
entitled Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority
Populations and Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
VII. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the
[[Page 47135]]
Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will
submit a report containing this rule and other required information to
the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller
General of the United States prior to publication of the rule in the
Federal Register. This rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).
